Now we wait . . .

The waiting game begins.  Our 5-week MAPP (Model Approach to Partnership in Parenting) classes are complete!  Our social worker, Cameron, says she'll call to make the 4th of 4 appointments with us in 2-3 weeks.  At this meeting we will sign our PPA (Pre-Placement Assessment) and our foster care application.  They will then be sent off to her supervisor and a committee hopefully for immediate approval.   Before she can do this Josh has to become First Aid/CPR certified and Ava still has to have a physical.  This is all scheduled for the week of 6/17. We had our fire inspection today.  These things may not actually be required to start receiving referrals but we will have to have them done anyway.  We'll be able to hand in all of our paperwork completed when we meet with her. 

Realistically we could begin receiving referrals (candidates for placement in our home) in July!  Of course, we may not receive any until much later.  We purposely left our profile  a little more open to receive a broader spectrum of candidates.  We are looking for boys 5-8 or a sibling group 5-10, any race.  Hopefully that will lead to more referrals.  We feel that we will just know when the 'right fit' is presented to us.  We are so prayerful about it.  I am incredibly nervous and excited at the same time!  This is going to be a long month : )  Waiting . . .
